Ten things I love about my husband

the rubber spider (it's really a love/hate relationship) that has popped up periodically during our entire marriage in unexpected places. It startles the living daylights out of me but also makes me laugh. The worst place?? Amelia's diaper bag.

hiding when the lights are out, I think he's in bed and then he sneaks around the other side and touches my leg and freaks me out. It scares me and makes me laugh at the same time.

the cute smile he has when he tickles me

his organizational skills

his knowledge of the Bible

the memory that defines my husband as a playful, fun guy - sneaking out to "BOO" our neighbors one Halloween, him dressed all in black (including a black cap), skulking in the bushes and trying to avoid the streetlights, running a zigzag pattern and hiding after ringing the doorbell and running, me laughing hysterically and him trying to shush me as we run back into the house and slam the door shut! (or like the time he scared me at the window while I was washing dishes...wait.. notice a theme here??!?!?!)

his compassion

his intelligence

the way he makes me laugh when I'm really mad at him and we have to make our pinkies "hug"

his beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes

Now that I think of it, I don't really love the rubber spider, but it does make me laugh. I tried to leave it at my sister's house, but my darn brother-in-law snuck it into my bags and scared me half to death when I opened them once I got off the plane in Beaufort.

About Us

It's three years later... we've been through another deployment, several TAD months of training and preparing for our 5th deployment (and the second YEAR long deployment). We've PCS'd to North Carolina where we met old friends from past duty stations and made new ones on our Marine Corps journey. And we're still unpacking, yet again!

6 weeks after my husband returned, we had the unexpected surprise of our daughter arriving almost 2.5 months early with a lot of post birth complications. Now we're getting used to our new "normal".

My husband just returned from what I now consider to be our 17 month deployment (if you count the months of special training in another city before hand) and we've unpacked and begun planning for our next move and... you guessed it... packing up again.

Ok, we WERE preparing for the deployment... now we're living it. And I'm more unpacked than I was!

We're preparing for a year long deployment, living in one city and traveling to another where my husband is in training for the next few months before he leaves. We've yet to fully unpack anywhere! This blog is for my husband, family and friends... and myself, so I can remember where I'm at! :)

PEACEit does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.(unknown)

Amelia in Azaleas

"I believe it to be a great mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense in it....Wecannot blink at the fact that gentle Jesus meek and mild was so stiff in his opinions and so inflammatory in his language that he was thrown out of church, stoned, hunted from place to place, and finally gibbeted as a firebrand and a public danger. Whatever his peace was, it was not the peace of an amiable indifference."--Dorothy Sayers
